Staten Island Amazon union holds on in ongoing court appeal
In a historic vote earlier this year, workers at a Staten Island, New York Amazon warehouse voted to join the Amazon Labor Union - Amazon is working to overturn that decision. However, in the appeals court, Amazon has a small window of time where it can file its objections. If the deadline of September 15th isn’t met by Amazon, the National Labor Relations Board will require the company to begin negotiations with the newly-formed union.
This landmark vote is the first Amazon warehouse to organize and form a union in the United States. Labor unions have struggled to find a foothold over the past several decades and with Amazon being America’s second-largest employer, some think that this may signal a shifting trend.
